10th Anniversary Spokane City Cup

Im playing dub's with yoduh's professional breakdown on the final 10 I should be able to slay it with a 27, $250 in dub's sounds good enough for me.

Nice.. Good luck Eric!
Hats are off Gordy and whoever else for the crap load of work it takes to prepare all those fairways!

[Yoduh]

Eric you told me 2 days ago you weren't playing.. Change of heart?

[Yoduh]

Bob, Sign ups close on Friday now? You might pull in a couple more people which could double attendence in one of the divisions.

[Yoduh]

I will not be playing this weekend. I asked Bob to sign up and he said the owner of the property does not want me playing on his property. He checked the pdga rules and a property owner is allowed to keep a player from playing on their property with no reason being cited.

(Not laughing at you, Jeremy.)

Seems like a bad time to play the exclusive card, wouldn't you say, Bob/Gordy? You know, at a time when you can't even bribe attendance with big wads of cash?

OK, I posted a jerkish comment here and removed it but there is no way TD's should be mandated to have to accomodate those who belittle their hard work, blood, sweat, etc.

If you appreciate that people are running tournaments for you, as volunteers, act like it...

I have carried more rocks and dragged more branches and dug out more teepads than you have any clue about. Ask Gordy, I figured out a couple years ago that I've spent about 35-40 on his course alone. If he wouldn't have burned his bridges I would still be out donating my time and efforts. Name 5 other people in this town that have done that much(not Gordy)

Oh look it's more bitching from Yoduh...

[Yoduh]

Was it bitching when I complained about the 8am for a one round a day players meeting? I KNOW everyone else was thinking it, just cause I said it.. How THIN IS YOUR SKIN? I said I wasn't going to play doubles because I coudn't take the 40 extra holes of golf? Sorry to hurt your feelers there, geez.
Was the breakdown of the final 10 course the last straw? I've been on this forum for 10 years and I often hear people talking about what they like, don't like about courses and holes.(Poke and hope, tight RBH etc.) I have done so about quite a few courses. All I gave was my opinion which is all it is. If you hear my opinion when you look at the course you can take it or leave it. I made no personal assault towards Gordy, Bob or any other volunteer. BTW Jumanji is in my top 3 courses in the state. 1.Steilly 2. Jumanji 3. Cornwall (green course)
The one apology I must sincerely offer is the poke I made about not starting 2 tournaments in a row correctly. I realize that running a tournament is not the easiest thing in the world to do and that there is alot of stress that can cause things not to go as smoothly as planned. When I said that comment it was flippant and meant to be a joke because the way I see it is that isn't the sort of thing that happens hardly ever and the way it did happen was kind of like lightning striking twice and that I've never even heard of it happening a 3rd time.. I can't believe how many people aren't showing up for this tourney.. and that all this above really amounts to a DQ.

Well... I sure hope the SDGA hasn't sponsored this tourney.
If so, I will make sure to make a huge deal about club members being denied entrance to a club sponsored event.
That would be a MAJOR conflict of interest.

Great, you two don't get along, grow a pair and deal with it during a tourney.
You two play in completely different divisions, just don't interact with each other.
And Gordy, you have asked to be a continuing figurehead for the SDGA, you are bound to receive some negative comments, this just sounds like a power trip.

Gordy, you can't take the positive and negative comments as part of the job, you work to undermine club votes and committees, and you won't even interact with your own club members; maybe you should consider stepping down?

[Gordy #21004]

This. Is. Not.Gordy.
I am the property owner. This is my decision.
I will NOT discuss my reasons on a forum, suffice it to say this is an action I have been contemplating for years.

Jaymie

[General Scales]

So I am torn between two subjects here. My love for disc golf and my love for people to do whatever the hell they want on their property.

I have never known what happened between Jeremy and the Crafts. I am sure that there is a reason for the bad blood (at least, I hope there's a reason). What I am unsure of is why people in Spokane feel the need to air out all this putrid and disgusting hatred on a disc golf forum used to attract sponsors and new people to the sport.

If I was going to sponsor any event in Spokane, all it would take to deter me is looking at stuff like this. The Spokane Disc Golf Association forum is filled with seething hate between members. Our tournaments get marred by these types of things. We are supposed to be elevating the sport to a higher level in Spokane. God knows we have the courses to do so. Yet we constantly are shooting ourselves in the feet with these disagreements. It's like Facebook. People log on and all of a sudden they just spew out everything in their minds. Most of the time it's doing more damage to those around them then they realize. Most of the time, they don't seem to care.

Gordy, Jaymie, I love you guys. You have always treated me with respect and as family every time I show up to your wonderful courses.

Jeremy, every time I have talked to you, you have come across as a nice guy with great idea's on how to incorporate disc golf in the major leagues.

Can we all just put aside the drama and huck some damn plastic into some metal chains? That's what this sport is all about right?

check the PDGA RULEBOOK .AS for taking the negative and positve comments THAT IS SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND .. You spew negative vibes EVERYTIME you play a tourny.. how many times have YOU thrown your disc bag jjust because the tourny is NOT going the way you wanted it to go .. i heard about your temper tantrum @ zoo town ARE you going do the same at the COUNTRY CUP if things dont go your way ?

[psychodwarf]

BTW. JUSTIN whens the GLOBAL tourny i know the SDGA gave you the money to do it BUT there is NO news about it no flyer ?what are you waiting till the last moment to post it then blame the SDGA when your players dont show up ?

Very odd that every tournament I've played in Spokane has been a nice mellow and pleasant drama free experience, yet the Spokane forums tend to read like a second rate disc golf reality tv drama gone bad.

From my perspective that's good, as I would much rather have the tournaments be fun when I'm there and watch all this other fun stuff from a distance.

I really wish I could play this tournament but the drive is just too far for a short weekend.

i do aploogize for my quotes that sounds like drama. but i am getting sick and tried of ppl IN my own club BELITTLING the things we try and do for the SPORT of disc golf (yes me too) its kinda bad that most of the ppl who post in here are just keyboard warriors . i guess that is not going to change much .. but I am working on NOT letting the WHINNERS/BITICHING/COMPLAINERS get me down!

That's because you bring your own nice, mellow, pleasant, drama-free aura around with you. I've been on your card before.

Either that, or the Spokanites are always on their best behavior when Ali G comes to town.

Hmm... I agree that I am not the most positive attitude on the course and I am working on it.
As for throwing bags, never have thrown my bag, tourney or otherwise.
Zoo Town was an unfortunate example of behavior on my part. Those who were present heard me give myself a warning during the 1st round AND apologize to my card and the TD's for my negative vibe. Christian mulled things over with me (extremely professional) and even talked me into continuing with the following round.

Thankfully I had help at Zoo Town, perfect example of a PRO helping an AMATEUR learn the ups and downs of tourney golf.
I am willing to gain experience, learn from my mistakes, and move on. (sounds like golf)

I hope we can all keep this perspective.
